Server History

== Our History ==

May 2021
Sunrise City Server began as an SMP. The spawn commenced building along with the first 2 lines of the world, the central line and the M2. At that point the server was only worked on by the 4 original members, JC, Swift, Dirt0066, and a past admin that is no longer with us.

June 2021

The server added a new line, Ocean Express, to the server which expanded out from Sunrise Seaside on the central line, out to Sunrise Cove, an island where players where able to build whatever they wanted. The Districto Commercial line was also constructed during this era, leading to a shopping district that was never finished. During this month, the server was upgraded from 2.5gb ram to 4gb for better performance

July 2021

It was around this time that a new world was created, SC. The abbreviation of SC translated to Sunrise City and a lot of the work was moved over to the city and construction was halted on the SMP world for a while.

August 2021

The city world made a lot more progress, whereas the SMP world was starting to become a massive fail. Jc and the Admin team had a big decision to make. Server resources were being massively strained so they came to the conclusion that one of the worlds had to go. So due to the different amount of workloads between each world, it was decided that the SMP world would close on August 31 2021 for good, and the server focus would become solely on the city. the first 3 minecart buses were starting to pop up and serve the pearle luxury apartment complex. The new parliament bulding popped up around here too and also during this month the server was upgraded from 4gb to 5gb to boost plugin capacity and make the server better.

September 2021

The city was flourishing now that the SMP had gone, new train lines such as the O1 popped up to serve central city, houses across the main sunrise road and a huge parliament building popped up (now removed in favor of a smaller building) as the city continued to expand.

Fear Castle Ghost Train, One of the attractions that was available during the halloween event!

October 2021

it was decided at this point that Overground Line 1 would be demolished and the old parliament station would be replaced with a big hub station called NWC memorial. The old strip of Overground Line 1 from spawn was turned into a shuttle to the hub station from spawn, while the part to traxi roadside was turned derelict (yet the station still exists to this day). This is also the month when the city express way first came into service between NWC memorial and Samari central and the buses were now all cancelled. for the last week of October, there was the Halloween event, which had some cool attractions for our citizens to enjoy such as the fear castle ghost train, paintball maze and drip leaf snowball fight. this event was discontinued on November 1st.

November 2021

The city expressway was given an extension to Winnica, an originally abandoned station now given a new life, stopping at Western Pearle on the way. it was at this point that sunrise rapidly expanded, with new towns popping up everywhere, the addition of Cotehill and Oceanpourte city boosted sunrise and made it look all the much better. this month was also the month with the addition of staff points, which meant that staff could earn points, and rank up after an interview and that certain amount of points being achieved. the server was also upgraded to 6GB of RAM during this month.

The server was flourishing, the addition of quests to get more people to join worked well, Winnica closed for renovation, so the City Expy now terminated at Western pearle temporarily. The addition of ringlington Town brought the server more life and the addition of the Sunrise Eye Landmark which gave a nice view over the sea (this has now been discontinued until New Sunrisia opens). During this month the first progress update of the new worldpainted world came through, exciting everyone in preparation for a new life for Sunrise. Unfortunately, the Planned Christmas event was now cancelled due to a lack of time to finish it. Sunrise had a very monumental 2021 and everyone couldn't wait for what was to come in 2022. they welcomed in the new year with Hope for a even brighter future.

January 2022

The new year was welcomed in and everyone was back to work. Winnica reopened after massive renovations, and Cotehill Western District got a refresh bringing a new vibrant station to the area. the rest is yet to come....
